We asked Bathroom blogger Steph from Bathshop321 to give us her thoughts on the best way to accessorise your bathroom, read what she had to say below. The problem with bathrooms is that they must be both functional and attractive all at the same time. A bathroom may be aesthetically pleasing but not function to a high level, and vice versa. When choosing your everyday bathroom accessories, you have the opportunity to choose things that will cover both of these areas. Here, we take a look at some great bathroom accessories and how these personal accessories can really put the finishing touches to your bathroom.
Pedal Bins
Pedal bins are a hygienic way of storing small amounts of waste in your bathroom. With a removable inner bin and carry handle they offer an easy and efficient way of transferring the rubbish into the bigger bin. However, they are not simply for this usual, functional purpose. Pedal bins can also be used to add a splash of colour and character to the bathroom. In the contemporary interior design world, more and more unusual things are becoming a target for a designer, which means you will be able to further impose your character on the room and in any colour you want!
Mirrors
Mirrors are another accessory that has taken on a sense of style along with their functionality. As you can see in the picture below, contemporary mirrors are now designed to look sleek and sophisticated, so that they combine well with the designer bathrooms of today. Not only has the design been developed greatly, so too has the functionality. Some swivel mirrors like this one have been created double sided, so that one side can be used for normal mirror uses, whilst the other is has a magnified face. This allows for extra care and attention to detail for anything that might concern you, such as skin blemishes and haircuts.
Storage Baskets
Storage baskets are an important accessory for the modern bathroom. In contemporary interior design, clean, open spaces are the in vogue fashion statement. Baskets are important for achieving this goal, as they allow you to store many essentials in your bathroom, without having to clutter up the space and ruining the ambience of the bathroom. Like pedal bins, they have also begun to have an impact on the sense of style in the bathroom. As seen in the pictures below, storage baskets are now being designed in a variety of colours and designs. This allows them to fit into any type of bathroom scheme, whilst also contributing as a stylish accessory in their own right.
We hope that this review has given you an insight into the importance of modern bathroom accessories and that we may have given you some ideas for the design and layout of your own bathrooms!
